I came to Boston House College because I want to be successful in life. BHC prepares you for the adult world and for making a success of yourself. I like that there are many foreign students from all over the world, and that everyone is welcome

I like the atmosphere at Boston House College, as well as the freedom to be who you are without anyone judging you. It is very different to school. Wearing casual clothes is like paradise, especially now in the extremely hot Cape Town summer!

As a Namibian I was lost and confused when I first came to school in Cape Town. Looking back, my Grade 10 friends all made me feel very comfortable and welcome. When I arrived they all came and introduced themselves to me, one by one. I found that cool! With time, Boston House has become my second home.

Fostering a set of solid values that will stay with students for life is much more of a challenge than teaching English.

BHC is a place of learning for alternative students and staff. It’s great being able to be “me”! In my class I strive to provide confidence and trust in a pleasant and optimistic atmosphere. In this environment we can learn to problem solve calmly and effectively.

I want my students to achieve good results, but more importantly to be prepared for the big wide world.

BHC has brought the enjoyment of learning back to Roxanne. She gets to learn from her mistakes rather than being degraded for these.
